Vista get first ever Champion at 9/10 State, places another |
|
Feb. 25th -- Vista had five wrestlers compete in the 9/10 state championships this past Saturday. There were several tough wrestlers in each weight and it was a pretty competitive event. Joe Huber and Steve Lee wrestled well but fell short of placing. Jackson Nichols had a great day but lost just one match before the placing rounds. Frank Davis battled through some close matches to finish 4th. Proud to announce that we now have our first ever wrestling state champion of any kind as Darion Thomas-Trujillo won the 138lb title. A giant congratulations goes out to him for a great day of wrestling. He pinned 4 opponents and teched another. Great job to all five of those who competed.

Vista at the State Tournament |
|
Feb. 16th-18th -- Mountain Vista wrestling ended its season with 3 wrestlers competing in the state tournament...
Bradley Colebank had a tough first round draw. He lost to the eventual runner up right off the bat. He then went on to record a forfeit (which counts as a win...booyah) for his second round match. In his next match, he lost to a regional champion in another tough bout. Congrats to Brad for qualifying and experiencing the state tournament in only his sophomore year. You'll be back.
Dylan Bull faced some serious competition in one of the most competitive weights in the tournament. He won his initial match in quadruple overtime. In his quarterfinal match, he lost a close match to an eventual placer and a very tough kid. Following that setback, he found himself in another tough spot against a familiar foe and fell just short of his goal, losing another close match. Overall, he battled and competed well but mostly he learned a valuable lesson about life and wrestling. Great job this year. You have much to be proud about.
Dylan Formby had a surprisingly (no offense) successful state tournament. Just like he did regional weekend, Dylan wrestled his hump off. He won his first match against a tough senior wrestler. In his quarterfinal match, he lost to a very tough kid who eventually placed. In his next match, he beat a very good opponent by battling back and scoring 4 points in the last 10 seconds to make it to the 3rd day of the event. Making him only the 3rd Vista athlete to ever reach this feat. He, fortunately, ended his run at state one win short of the placing rounds, losing to one of the best wrestlers in his bracket. Ultimately, his success is just beginning. Looking forward to what he can do next year in the big show. More records to be broken I'm sure.
Again, congrats to these guys! Great work this year!
